Clowning Around Birthday Nails!

Hi all! I'm not sure if you'll notice, but I've filed my nails down quite a bit. Tonight I realized that they were the longest they've ever been and I suddenly couldn't live with them anymore. I grabbed my glass file and got to working and then had the strong urge to give myself rounded nails for a change over my normal square shape. 

It feels SO different! I don't know whose hands these are! I think they are growing on me though and I'll live with them for a few days before deciding if I want to go back to my normal shape. I think they make my fingers look narrower? Who knows! 

Anyway, I was craving something fun and bright tonight and I recently adopted Clowning Around by Lush Lacquer and oh my word. It is so beyond fabulous. It has a ton of varying sized neon hex glitter in clear base so you can put it over anything your heart desires. There is absolutely no fishing with this polish ad it is packed full of the neon glitter. I paired this with Zoya's Jacqueline and I am just so in love! It's like a unicorn shook it's majestic mane over my fingers and this magic appeared on them. Or something.
 Since I never seem to be content with just polish these days, I added some round studs from my Born Pretty Store (use code SRL91 for 10% off) and I actually really love this mani. It's so different from what I normally do, yet it's like I have magic on my fingers!
What do you think of my semi rounded nails? Should I keep them or go back to squares?

Happy Polishing! :)

The Hungry Asian: Li-lacquer Swatch and Art

Hiya! So I'm not feeling in tip top shape--my boyfriend managed to bring some sort of plague home with him from work and of course I have now caught it...I just didn't want him to be alone in his misery ;) Anyway, because of this, I just have something simple for you tonight. I used my newly adopted Li-lacquer made by The Hungry Asian and I'm so happy I did! This lilac creme jelly glitter is amazing and feels so much like spring and Easter to me. Loveliness in a bottle if you ask me! The application was great as is expected, and while I did have to do some fishing for glitter, it wasn't something a few coats can't handle. 
 Isn't that fun? I'm really loving pastels right now and this has just the right amount of something extra to keep me enthralled. I ended up adding some free hand white chevrons and now I feel like I've got cute little Easter Eggs on my fingers...and I love it!
Happy Polishing :)

The Hungry Asian Kiwi Smoothie & Rectangles!

Hiya, everyone! Hope your Friday is going wondrously! I spent my Friday night nail artin' it up. I'd like to say that normally my Fridays are much more exciting than just painting my nails...but who am I kidding?? This is my normal and I love it :D

Yesterday I received my order of The Hungry Asian polishes and oh my goodness! I am in love with all of them! I absolutely LOVE sheer cremes with glitter in them and all the polishes I ordered were just that. The first one I tried was Kiwi Smoothie and I was not disappointed. I absolutely adore this polish and am regretting not buying a full size bottle of it. It's that amazing. Take a look. 
 I am just obsessed. Like I will probably stop random stranger on the street tomorrow just to show them how amazing it is. 

I almost didn't want to add anything to this lovely color, but ended up using OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Walls and China Glaze's I'm Not Lion to create some rectangle nail art. While I don't like how they turned out as much as I hoped I would, I still like these. They've got a little extra sparkle to add to that amazing green. 
What do you think of these? I love me some geometric shapes! ;)

Happy Polishing :)
